Gick förbi en ödegård som precis sålts. På innergården låg en ABC800 dator slängd.

Luxor Datorer ABC 806, keyboard detail. Also Sweden built computers in early 1980ies. #onepicaday #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #abc800

Had to dig out my Facit DTC, a rebadged Luxor ABC800 from 1981, renowned for their fast semi-compiled Basic. Clocked in at 166 seconds, not bad for a Z80@3MHz.

It's funny how computers had local markets back then. I never saw a CPC464 in Sweden. The landscape here was dominated by Luxor ABC80 and ABC800 (both with Z80), and I assume those were never sold abroad.

Swedish #Luxor was a brand of radios, TVs, audio, video, established in 1925 and named after the then-hot archaeological site in Egypt. In 1978-1986 they made computers as well. The ABC80 was similar to the TRS-80. The ABC800 was meant for offices. This is a monochrome ABC802.

Alltså, @augustin.bsky.social - jag var själv mer en 6502 (eller snarare - 6510 (C64)) - kille, men nog har jag programmerat ABC. Jag har till och med stansat hålremsa (!) till ABC800 för en robot back in the day.
Och D-NIX (ABCenix) var den första UNIX jag körde. 1989, kanske?
